AT-GS900/8
Unmanaged Gigabit Ethernet Switch
AT-GS900/8
8 port 10/100/1000T unmanaged switch

ECO-Friendly
The AT-GS900/8 eco-friendly switch conforms
with Allied Telesis commitment to
environmentally friendly processes and
products. It is designed to minimize power
consumption through the use of a high
efficiency power supply and a low power
chipset.
With a low 3.3W typical power consumption
and a reduction in power during after-work
hours (overnight mode) as well as other
power saving features included as standard, the
Allied Telesis AT-GS900/8 truly lives up to its
name as an eco-friendly switch.
Not only does this help the planet by reducing
the carbon footprint of each switch, it also
lowers the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to
the user, as the product costs less to run, and
has improved reliability.

Simplified Installation
The GS900 series switches require minimal
configuration and can be installed in minutes
for use in network racks or on desktops. The
10/100/1000T copper ports on the GS900
series are fully auto-negotiating, allowing the
switches to connect to all other 10Mbps
Ethernet, 100Mbps Fast Ethernet, or 1000Mbps
Gigabit Ethernet devices. Equipped with
MDI/MDI-X ports for easy connection to other
hubs and switches, the GS900 series offers
a natural migration path from legacy networks
and a cost-effective introduction to Gigabit
Ethernet. Finally, easy to read front panel LEDs
show ongoing switch status and simplify
troubleshooting.

Quality and Reliability

Allied Telesis is a worldwide leader in
unmanaged Ethernet switches. Shipping more
than 250,000 unmanaged switches every year,
